Before I share with you a nice slice of my political views (or delve into Lena Dunham's "Girls", which is deemed as a "Sex and the City" for angsty post-graduates who survived Love in the Time of Bush-era), I would like to talk about the actual Sex and the City- you know, the Candace Bushnell creation that came over out nearly 15 years on HBO. What would it be like if the ultra-glam, bar-hopping single ladies (for some of the seasons, anyway) were mere twenty-somethings in 2012 (a.k.a. the End of the World?). This is what I think they'd would be like in today's world if they were members of Generation Y.
Carrie: Writer who rents out room instead of her own apartment, with her
father paying half of the rent. Her sex blog is about to take off, but
she isn't paid enough for it yet. She owes $40.000 debt for her student
loan, not $40,000 "invested" in Manolo Blahnik shoes. Buys knock-offs
from Etsy instead and creates her dream outfits on Polyvore while
professing her love for shoes. Is clingier towards Mr. Big, whose firm
remained unscathed despite the economic turbulence that occurred in
2008.
Miranda: Lawyer who was just laid off from the law firm she just worked for; sued law firm for discrimination due to her gender, lawsuit pending- became headlines on the Huffington Post. MSNBC is considering giving her a tv show of her own, but producers complain about how "unfunny" she is, and encourage her to grow out her hair. Still has savings so isn't completely broke, but she ends up moving in immediately with Steve, a bartender.
Samantha: Samantha is finding it increasingly difficult to finding more clients despite the movie industry not going down, and ends up registering her own domain in order to build her own online profile. Deleted her Facebook since too many past lovers and suitors began stalking her, even cussing her out on YouTube. Makes homemade cocktails for her friends so that they won't spend too much at the bar. Moonlights as a stylist at Saks Fifth.
Charlotte: Charlotte quits her job as an art curator, but suddenly regrets it. Lives in an apartment she inherited from her family. Does not have time to obsess over having a baby, and often hangs out with her gay guy friends while discovering new artists in the New York scene. Is scouted for being a model, but the major agencies think she is a few inches too short.
